This fun and unique bracelet started from the ground up; starting with flat sheet of Reticulation silver, I slowly created the texture using my torch as a paintbrush. Incorporating this technique into my jewelry has absolutely been a highlight of my recent work. It never ceases to amaze me how different it looks every time. After creating the stone settings for the Black Spinel and Smoky Quartz, i made the clasp and hinges from tubing and wire. My goal with this piece was to make a functional, wearable piece of completely unique jewelry.
This piece is currently available through Gallery 1505 in Denver, CO
